“If the school wants to borrow it, then let them. Things only have meaning when they are put to good use,” Shen Xi said.
Shen Yan nodded. She was indeed his daughter, a girl with wisdom and vision.
Shen Xi went back and freshened up, then lay down and looked at the message sent by the school.
Going to Country C to pick up some juniors from the Weaponry Academy? The Imperial Capital Military University was huge, with a total of eighteen colleges dedicated to military-related fields, each with numerous specialized departments.
The Aviation and Aerospace Academy, where Shen Xi was, and the Weaponry Academy were not exactly nearby. It would take a twenty-minute drive.
Shen Xi put down her phone. She needed a good rest to recharge before returning to school the next day.
The next day, under the pretext of completing her thesis, Shen Xi returned to the campus. After taking a test flight with her assistant, she took a few support personnel and headed to Country C.
Initially, Shen Xi thought she would be able to return quickly, but she unexpectedly ended up staying in Country C for two days without receiving any notification. This made Shen Xi slightly uneasy. She thought that communication with the higher-ups was not going smoothly, which hindered their operation.
“l heard that this time, Country C detained the juniors to extort the newly developed explosive material. They are using the explosion at Country S t s government center to buy time,” said Shen Xi’s assistant, Yu Ming, while eating his lunch.
“In that case, it won’t be easy for us to pick them up,” Shen Xi took a bite of beef and continued the conversation.
“l just hope we won’t engage in aerial combat. We only have one aircraft, and if we get surrounded, it will be disastrous,” Yu Ming shook his head and sighed.
Shen Xi chuckled, “It’s not like we haven’t been ambushed before. What are you afraid of?”
Yu Ming also laughed in response. He almost forgot that the person next to him was none other than the brilliant Rose Onion! The one who could make a sharp turn inside the enemy’s encirclement and cause the enemy aircraft to collide behind her, the “Rose Onion”!
“Senior, are you not afraid to die?” Yu Ming asked curiously, looking at Shen Xi, who was enjoying her meal without a trace of worry.
“Junior, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I not be afraid of death? If I die, my parents will cry, my grandparents will cry, and even my ancestors underground will bother me. Do you think I’m afraid or not?” Shen Xi laughed.
If she had no attachments in this world, she would not be afraid to die. But if she had loved ones, she would hold her life dear, fearing the sadness and grief it would bring to them.
“Senior, you really love joking around,” Yu Ming smiled and continued eating his lunch.
People at the school always said that Senior had a strange temperament, a cold personality, and was both eccentric and fond of scolding people. Several of her previous assistants were driven away by her stern reproaches. So, when he was first assigned to be Senior’s assistant, he was quite apprehensive.
But as they spent more time together, he discovered that she was easy to get along with as long as he did not make mistakes.
Of course, when he first started working with her, he did get reprimanded harshly. However, as he improved and stopped making mistakes, she no longer scolded him and would even joke around from time to time.
Looking back, Senior was not wrong to be so strict. Every time they went on a mission, their lives were at stake, and if any mistake were made, both of them would be done for.
Shen Xi’s phone rang urgently. She quickly grabbed the phone, looked at the message on it, and then exchanged a serious gaze with Yu Ming.
The two of them swiftly started the aircraft and flew towards the location sent by the support personnel.
As soon as they landed on the designated site, a group of people ran towards the aircraft. Shen Xi vigilantly observed her surroundings and then signaled for Yu Ming to lower the ladder.
Soon, the group of people settled inside the cabin. Shen Xi glanced at the people chasing behind and pressed the start button. The aircraft shot up vertically, scaring the students who had just seated themselves.
It was not until they reached a stable altitude and began normal flight that they calmed down slightly.
“Ah! I-I, my goodness, that scared the hell out of me. I thought I was going to die,” one student tightly grabbed the seatbelt with tearful eyes.
“This is too terrifying. This isn’t flying a plane; it’s launching a rocket!” another student said with lingering fear.
“The pilot is your school alumna, and she has excellent skills. You should know her, she’s your senior,” one of the support personnel said with a smile..
